IE doesn't like my CSS

[Darth Evad]

in firefox the font is the proper size.
in IE the font is HUGE for centerrow!

body {
background-image: url(http://www.whopissedyouoff.com/images/forumbg.gif);
color: #0066b2;
font-family: arial;
font-size: 12px;
}

a:link {
color: #0066b2;
text-decoration: none;
}

a:visited {
color: #0066b2;
text-decoration: none;
}

a:hover {
color: #0066b2;
text-decoration: underline;
}

.smaller {
font-size: small;
}

.small {
background-color: white;
font-size: x-small;
}

.centerrow {
background-color: white;
color: black;
padding-left: 0.25cm;
font-size: 12px;
}

.header {
background-image: url(http://www.whopissedyouoff.com/images/header_fill.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
font-size: 16px;
}

.quote {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: small;
}

Seems normal when I tried it. Possibily you have the text size under view set to a larger size?

Try it without spaces, like so:

body {
background-image:url(http://www.whopissedyouoff.com/images/forumbg.gif);
color:#0066b2;
font-family:arial;
font-size:12px;
}


I heard that some browsers have problems with spaces.

Make sure in the center row itself that it doesn't have any overriding font sizes. Even plain HTML will override CSS in some cases.

Though poor style, I think that behavior is by spec.

It's by design, and for good reason. Sometimes you want just one item to have a different size or something, that's why inner CSS works before outer CSS.

It's a good idea to use pt or em instead of pixels. It allows for consistent sizing between browsers (with a bit of extra work admittedly, but it also resizes when you change the browser from "Medium" to something else).
